Year 1980

Frightened by an old legend,

the people of Rozas del Monte decide to sacrifice a baby

to stop the Apocalypse.

Locking the mother in a convent until the end of her days,

the Order of Rozas exiles from the town.

Having put an end to their ancient mission,

the residents of Rozas del Monte promise not to speak of it again.

40 years later

Mom?

Girl, go away.

Shit.

What happened to you?

You ready?

What are you doing here?

Where are your parents?

Huh? Answer me.

What are you doing here by yourself?

Are you lost?

I was looking for you.

For me? That's nonsense.

Are you sure your parents aren't around?

A relative, a friend?

Let's go to the car.

With historical maximum temperatures at the South Pole,

more than 60% of the territory has thawed in recent weeks.

Cities like Miami, Shanghai and Mumbai are on high alert

trying to evacuate thousands of residents amid flooding...

What's your name?

Don't you have a name?

You have to have a name I can call you, right?

My name is María José.

How old are you?

You're really not going to tell me where your parents are?

They have to be very worried.

Look, I'm going to take you to the station. Surely someone can help us there.

Did the boys from the town send you to play tricks on me?

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Did you know that you are driving with a broken tail-light

and below the speed limit?

Yes officer, excuse me, you caught me distracted.

Driver's license and registration please.

Of course.

Where are you going?

To Rozas del Monte, 5 minutes from here.

Is the girl okay?

That's exactly where I was headed, officer.

I was on my way to the station.

I found her in the San Segundo bridge

and I think she's lost.

She won't tell me her name

or who her parents are. Nothing.

She's not your daughter?

No officer, no.

Get out of the car please. Both of you.

What's your name, sweetie?

Why are you covered in mud?

She insists on not answering.

I thought you stopped us because you were looking for her.

Not really.

Someone is going around killing the cattle around here.

One of these Romanians.

Madam, your license is expired.

You have to go and renew it as soon as possible.

I’m going to have to report you.

Do you have someone that can pick you up?

Can we go now, mommy?

-What? -Excuse me?

No, no, no, officer.

Quiet! Quiet!

Is this lady your mother or not?

No, I am not your mother. Officer, she must be confused.

I don't know her at all.

You will have to accompany us to the station.

Is that really necessary?

What are you doing grabbing an officer? Are you crazy?

Let my mother go.

Let go! Martín, call the station.

Let her go.

Let me go, please.

I swear I have never seen her in my life.

Quiet, lady. Be quiet.

For your sake, Do not resist.

Martín, help me.

Girl...

Girl, where are you going?

EVERYONE WILL BURN

Pick up, please.

Shit.

María José! Adding ginger to the fried green tomato has worked phenomenally.

You were absolutely right.

I’m glad, Remedios. Excuse me.

You don’t look so great.

Me?

And the pretty girl? Won’t you introduce me?

It’s… my niece, she’s come to spend a few days with me.

-Feli has a daughter? -Yes.

She was so quiet about it.

When she comes to pick her up, tell her to come over for a snack.

- I haven’t seen her in a while. - You know how my sister is.

What happened here?

Is everything fine? Are you okay?

We went for a walk and my nose started bleeding.

Is Don Manuel still in Galicia?

He came back last night but had to leave early this morning.

I’m coming.

If you don’t mind, close the fence on your way out.

Come by later to have a snack. I have prepared delicious crepes.

Goodbye, ladies!

Come in.

Stay here. Don’t move.

Dad?

David, pick up.

Damn it. Pick up the phone.

Girl

Who were you talking to?

With dad.

How are you talking to your father?

What happened out there with the officers?

They wanted to hurt you. We cannot allow it.

Who? Who cannot allow it? What are you talking about?

Please, I need you to give me some sort of clue.

That’s a lot of crosses. Do you feel more protected with them?

My ex-husband is an artist and he like these sort of things.

What about you?

♪ There are two who come to play… ♪

Sit down.

Who are you?

Is he trying hard enough?

He is a good student and has been called by God.

Yes?

Trust him.

Do you really believe it?

Hello.

Well father, we'll talk another time. Yeah? Thanks.

Blessings be with you.

- It's so good to see you. - Hello, father.

What a pleasant surprise.

How are you, María José?

I would like to confess, Abelino.

I’m glad you're back. Follow me.

Hail Mary.

Conceived without sin.

May the Lord be in your heart so that you can humbly confess your sins.

How long has it been since you last confessed?

I don't remember, father.

Go on, sister.

This morning I thought about taking my own life.

Well, I have been thinking about it for years but this morning I almost did.

There are few sins that the Lord won't forgive in his infinite mercy.

You have done the right thing coming here.

That's not all, father.

Do you remember the story they told us when we were little?

The one about this town?

I think something is going to happen soon.

Sister, they are fairy tales. To scare the children.

Isn't Lolo's anniversary around this time?

Maybe you are still overwhelmed with that.

It's in my house, father.

- What's is in your house?

- Mom?

What are you doing here?

María José…

Sit here.

Take this.

Pick up. Pick up, pick up.

María José?

David! Thank God. Why didn't you take my call?

María José. You haven't taken my calls or answered my messages in two years.

Yes I know, but this time it's different.

I need you to come.

To the town?

Yes.

We broke into María José's house.

She caught us and started screaming. Vespi shat himself and ran away.

- For real? - I stole her bra!

I don’t believe you.

It’s true, it’s true.

He’s lying.

Look, look, look…

What's the matter with you, dwarf?

She's a dirty midget.

Clean yourself up, you're disgusting.

Do all your friends know you like boys, or just your right hand?

Things are happening.

I think I'm in danger.

I beg you, it's important.

Who do you think you are, dummy?

Hit her, hit her.

- What are you doing man? - It's not me.

Stop acting like an idiot.

Let's wash the filthy girl!

Go take a shower.

Hey! Hey! You guys. What are you doing?

You guys! What are you doing?

- Melli, go home! - The crazy lady is coming!

Hey! You!

We are not finished, monster.

What did you do to the girl?

Are you okay?

Aren't you ashamed, Juan?

You are going to become a priest.

But I came here to stop them, Mariajo.

Sure...

You and your "little friend"...

Honey, come on.

Mariajo…

This is for a boy but I think it will fit you.

I should bathe first.

You’re right. I’m a little rusty.

Lucía

Do you like that name?

Are you afraid?

Of me?

Of what we are going to do?

Mom…

Thank you for taking care of Lucía.

She has helped me make many friends here.

Lolo… Lolo…

Lolo, my love.

I never thought I'd hear your voice again.

Where are you?

Mom, I wanted to ask for your forgiveness.

Sorry to make you suffer. For not being a good son.

No… You don't have to apologize for anything.

I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you.

Dad wants to thank you for everything you are doing.

Honorio, this isn't just about some dead crops.

Imagine it was your Antonio.

- Listen here… - Teresa…

The father and I have already spoken with the Police

and we will inform you as soon as we know something.

Please go take care of the children.

They are the ones that need you the most now.

Father, clearly something very strange is happening here.

Let's try to remain calm.

The father and I have already told you that the authorities are in charge.

So please, let's not jump to conclusions.

Right, Abelino?

Of course. The best we can do is pray and let the authorities do their job.

And that's it, you'll see how in two days we'll find the people responsible.

Sorry for the delay, father. I went to bed late last night studying.

What is happening? Everybody is acting crazy.

Join me, Juan.

We'll talk later. Excuse me.

How is it that you don't know yet?

Has no one ever sang the town's lullaby to you?

The lullaby? Sure, when I was little.

"There are two who come to play…"

"But they aren't welcome to stay."

The nuns sang it every night when I lived with them.

It's not just a lullaby, Juan. It's… a prophecy… an omen.

A prophecy? Here in the town?

Our order, by pontifical right, is the protector of these scriptures;

just as there are other orders that protect other manuscripts.

Forty years ago we thought it had been fulfilled

and the other priests and I helped by some of the town's neighbors...

managed to stop it; or so we thought.

If my fears are true, it means that we were wrong.

But what do these stories have to do with us now, father?

And why are you telling them to me?

Five children were attacked last night, Juan.

Attacked how? By who?

Some have been covered in scabs. Others have lost mobility.

Poor Melli has had it the worst…

Just yesterday I saw him fooling around with Maria José's girl.

Do you know who did it?

There are no signs of struggle and no footprints.

It's as if whoever did this evaporated into thin air.

What you're telling me is an outrage but with all due respect,

I don’t see any reason to blame any prophecy.

What does the lullaby say? "There are two who come to play."

It’s a big assumption.

You have always gotten along well with María José, haven't you?

I need you to keep an eye on her.

Me? With Mariajo? Why?

She's had enough.

Do me this favor son. For caution.

We wouldn't want anything bad to happen to her.

At the end of the day this is a small town.

Remedios! What are you doing here?

Father, don't allow yourself to be bullied by the mayor.

You know exactly what is going on here.

Stop riling up the neighbors.

Father Gabriel would know what to do. Or do you not care what happens to us?

Remedios! You are in the house of the Lord. A little respect, woman.

Such accusations cannot be made without proof.

The people gave you a second chance. Don't let them down.

“There are two who come to play, but they are not welcome to stay.

And I shall arrive. And I will plant my seed where they least expect it.

The rumbling of the Earth shall herald his coming,

and in the setting of the blood moon he shall ascend

to purge the dominions of the Lord

Two souls created under torment

will become one under the eyes of the Fallen One.”

“In the innocence corrupted by the wickedness of men,

under the crimson night,

I will perform my greatest work.

And everyone will burn.”

My mother used to read it like this to me and my sister when we were very little.

Years ago it became a song

and then a souvenir for the ghost hunters who come into town.

If I were you, I wouldn’t be singing it around here.

Lucía...

Are you sure it's me you want to stay with?

Dad wants you to be you.

He has a plan for you.

We need you.

We are getting close.

Mother...?

Antonio! Son!

You scared the hell out of me!

What are you doing, Mother?

I'm donating some old stuff to the Church.

Father Abelino hasn't told me anything about donations today.

Why would he, why would he, why would he?

It's the same every year.

For Christ sake!

I'm looking for the camera, the tiny one...

... the one that we gave you and you never used.

Do you know where it is?

No...

Go check out if it is over there where your old clothes are.

Go.

Mother...

What?

I would like to apologize to María José...

Under no circumstances, you hear me?

But... Mot...

Under no circumstances Toti!

Listen to me carefully.

You have to stop punishing yourself for what happened.

You were just kids,

and that child wasn't right in the head.

Enough is enough.

Please.

What's wrong?

What's wrong with you!

I saw the girl everybody is talking about.

I saw her with Melli and is friends.

They were bullying her.

Who was with you?

Juan.

How many times do I need to tell you to not go to the suburbs.

How many times, Toti? How many?

Tell me something...

Do you really think that Juan is sure about his vocation...?

Mother... For Christ sake...

He is becoming a priest.

As if he was the first to break his oath to God in this town.

Antonio...

Son, listen to me.

I don't want you to see María José.

Or that little girl for that matter, OK?

-Do you hear me? -Yes...

Promise me!

I promise.

Honey, honey! what's wrong with you?

Are you OK? Want me to make you some tea?

Want me to make you some tea?

No. Don't worry, I'll make it later.

Give me the camera.

Hey!

Come on, give your mother a kiss.

Could I speak to him?

Only when dad wants it. I'm sorry.

Lolo has never told me what happened to him.

Lolo didn't have an easy childhood.

He was a special boy, one who doesn't make many friends.

They messed with him for being different.

They didn't stop for a second to try and understand him.

What did they do to him?

Anyway, I don’t want you to go to sleep with that on your mind.

Let's go downstairs and eat. I’ve bought you a lot of meat.

Free yourself, mom.

Thirteen years ago Lolo went to class with Toti,

the older boy you saw yesterday with Juan.

Lolo heard that Toti had lost his dog

and kindly gave him his favorite grasshopper.

I really liked it, to be honest.

But Toti was not amused

and began insulting him,

and putting his head in the toilet.

My poor Lolo thought he'd done something wrong,

and began to bring him even more things every day.

Visits to the toilet became more and more frequent until...

Well...

You know this is a small town.

Everyone blamed Lolo,

they blamed him for being different.

Simply for being different.

Until one day Lolo couldn't take it anymore and…

He was my son.

He was difficult but he was mine.

Ta-da!

What are you doing with my clothes?

I wanted to look like you.

What are you doing, Mom?

I thought it would be better to get rid of these.

Lucía...

Lucía, what are you doing?

I'm sorry.

Antonio, what are you doing? Dinner is ready.

Antonio, are you coming out?

Hello, María José, can we come in?

May I ask what this visit is all about?

Ma'am, we're talking to people around town

to see if anybody has information on what happened last night.

María José, it’d be better if we spoke inside.

Sit down.

We understand you have some history with Antonio Sotomayor,

the mayor's son.

You can call it that.

María José, Antonio died last night.

How is that possible?

Apparently, Antonio drowned himself in the toilet water.

Apparently, Antonio drowned himself in the toilet water.

Normally, these type of cases are often miscalculated sexual fetishes.

However, the body did present signs of violence

but no proof of sexual activity.

There was no forced entry

and only the mayor and his wife were at the house.

What does this have to do with me?

María José, I told them about Lolo.

Maria Jose, I told them about Lolo.

We just want to make sure nothing has happened between you two.

I know it's been a few hard days.

No, father, no.

Nothing has happened between me and Toti.

Nothing good nor bad. We just don't have a relationship.

And I don't appreciate you coming to my house with these accusations.

No one's accusing you of anything. We just want to ask you a few questions.

What can you tell me about the agents that stopped you a few days ago?

They stopped me because of a broken tail-light

and told me to fix it immediately.

I just haven't had the time to do it yet.

Ma'am you were the last person to see officers Ramírez and Martín alive.

I don't want to disclose gruesome details

but you can't imagine the state of their corpses.

Now we find ourselves with the strangest suicide case we've ever seen.

And on top of that, five kids have been admitted

into the hospital under bizarre circumstances.

As of today, you are the only person with a connection to these occurrences.

I know how ridiculous this is going to sound but there are some people…

What people?

There's people who believe that your niece's arrival, as the father tells us,

could be linked to an old tale of the town.

This is ridiculous,

you call yourself professionals but instead of searching for

whoever has committed theses crimes, you come to my house

asking about an old fairy tale.

Seriously?

Seriously, this is your evidence?

Please leave my house.

María José, for God's sake, cooperate.

They're only trying to calm everyone down.

A few days ago, you were feeling frantic too.

- What do you want to know?

I told you to wait downstairs.

Hello Lucia, how are you?

Better now that auntie spent all night taking care of me.

Father, isn't it a bit hypocritical to tell other people's secrets?

Excuse me?

We wouldn't want yours to see the light, right?

Officers, let's go.

Thank you for everything.

If anything happens, don't hesitate to give us a call.

Pardon me, are these authentic?

I find it hard to find original Torresinos lately.

My wife is a huge fan.

Thank you.

Look...

You can keep this one.

- For real? - Yes, yes, yes.

- Thank you so much ma'am. - You're welcome.

Thank you again. And sorry for the intrusion.

You know how small town people can be.

Yes.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

What were you thinking?

You can't be going out and killing everybody. Not like that.

Don't yell at me. We're here to protect each other.

This isn't how we protect each other.

Don't get mad at me, mommy.

Lucía, now they're going to come for you. And for me.

Don't you understand? People in this town live in the past.

I'm sorry.

Think, think, think!

Think before acting out.

You look like a little girl but you aren't one.

Stop it, please.

I know why you chose me.

I'm not stupid. I plan on helping you reach the end

so that all of these people can get what they deserve.

But we have to do things right.

Mom stop, please.

Stop calling me mom!

I am not your mother.

I AM NOT YOUR MOTHER!

Hey. Watch out! It's just me. It's just me.

- David? - How are you, Mariajo?

You really did a number on yourself.

Yeah.

- How are you feeling? - It hurts.

That's normal. It's going to be swollen for a few days.

But don't worry, I’m here now.

- Lucía? - She's fine.

Where is she?

She's fine. She's painting in the kitchen with Ari.

Good.

What are you guys doing here?

Lucía called me and told me a little bit about what happened.

And the father called me too.

Why don’t you sit down so we can talk?

What did Abelino tell you?

He told me about the children and Toti.

May their souls be with God.

And you said Lucía called you?

Yeah.

I didn't know Feli had a little girl.

I didn't even know she was married.

Nobody said she was married…

How long is she here with you?

Hey girls.

How are you?

Good, honey. Thank you.

What a silly fall, right?

María José. How are you?

Congratulations! You are very pregnant!

We’ve been trying for a while.

If everything goes well, it will be born in March, like you.

Did you come here for me?

Of course, woman!

Also, after talking with the father,

it seemed like a good idea to come to the funeral, right?

Besides, Ari has been insisting for a while

that I come to reconcile myself with the cows and the goats.

- So here I am. - Don't act all tough now.

He heard Lucía's voice and his bags were already packed.

How is your sister?

She's fine. She's on a trip with her new boyfriend.

How old are you, sweetie?

Thirteen. Thirteen years old. Do you want something to eat?

No, no, no. I have everything under control.

It was little hard to find some things since you

moved stuff around but food will be ready in ten minutes.

Why don't you go lie down?

Yes, I'm going to lie down.

You already know where the guest room is, right?

Yes.

It coincides. Every single date does. Every single death matches the scriptures.

-You're scaring the people! -Please respect each other's turns.

We are facing the apocalypse. We are talking about a divine restoration.

What a mess.

“… He is risen.”

That is the mystery of our faith

that we share in the hope of one day meeting again.

Today, Antonio Sotomayor Fernández joins our Lord Jesus Christ,

and to the parents, Teresa and Honorio,

I ask you more than ever to cling to the word of God,

because Antonio has left us, but he is not alone…

Let's offer our condolences.

Teresa, Honorio.

We are very sorry about what happened.

Are you happy now?

Let's try to remain calm.

I know it was you.

I don't know how but I know it was you.

- You and that thing. - Is that really necessary?

We come in good faith.

You hated Toti with all of your soul.

Remedios tell them what you heard.

Tere darling let’s go have some tea. This is not the time.

Teresa, we all loved him.

- I ask you, please, not here. - This is enough.

Why not here? Why not here? Why not here?

Sweetie.

And you,

I hope you rot in the hell where you should have never left from.

Honorio, for God’s sake, control this, please.

Teresa, the whole town is watching. Let's go home.

Relax, Mariajo.

Let me go!

If you touch her again…

What?!

Are you going to do the same thing you did to Toti?

Huh?

You really needed your ex-husband to come and protect you?

Does he know that you survive by pawning his art?

No, he doesn't know because he hasn’t come to see you in years.

Actually, no one's come to see you in a long time.

Psycho.

Fuck your son.

Stop at once! Let's go.

You need to stop! Teresa, please!

This woman should be arrested.

- Everyone's crazy here. - Are you hurt, sweetie?

Look at all these people.

Mariajo, are you okay?

Whoa!

A little handsy, don't you think?

Mariajo, she just lost her kid...

I would have loved some of that same empathy.

Are you okay?

Don't listen to these hillbillies.

Let's go eat something before they find more

reasons to hate us. Do you like suckling pig?

Go on. There is nothing to see here.

By the way...

What was that all about with Teresa? And with the girl?

Small town drama.

And since the girl is the way she is, they think they've been cursed.

You should leave, Mariajo. Just as I did.

Away from all the memories and all the hillbillies.

I don't have a problem with the memories.

It's the hillbillies that get on my nerves.

Hey,

about the girl's father…

Feli never told me much about him. She said it was unexpected.

Don't feel bad that my sister didn't tell you.

She was always very reserved, as you know.

I haven't heard from her since the divorce, so…

And...

What about Juan?

- What about Juan? - He's crazy about you.

What are you talking about?

Yeah, right.

Lucía go to sleep.

Save the games for tomorrow.

It's a little late to be playing hide and seek, honey.

Got you!

What are you doing out of bed? Are you okay?

Ari?

Ari, honey, are you okay? Are you okay?

A little dizzy.

Remedios?

That bitch Teresa sent you, right?

David, you are a man of God.

Listen to father Abelino. It's the prophecy!

The father is feeding you fairy tales.

- Are you that blind? - Fucking bitches!

Get out of here, bitch!

“Two souls created under torment will become one

under the eyes of the Fallen One.”

It's them two!

María José, don't stoop to her level.

Her what?

I’ve been putting up with being called a psycho all these years.

Enduring teasing and attacks from children.

I've spent years watching how the culprit of my son's death strutted around town.

And the son of a bitch even got a proper funeral.

When my own son was deemed too unholy to be worthy of one according to Abelino.

María José, calm down, please.

What is this? What is this? What is this?

What did you expect to find? The girl's head spinning around?

Stop it, Mariajo, stop this now!

No! No!

I’ve been dealing with this bullshit by myself all of these years.

Completely abandoned by you.

And now that I finally have...

...a niece to take care of, even if it's just for a few days,

no one's going to come and fuck this up for me.

You love to play the victim, don't you, Mariajo?

Ever since you were a small little brat you always believed you were

above everyone else. But you aren't fooling anybody!

You are where you are because your husband preferred

to leave everything behind than to look at your face.

And your son? He was a monster. A calamity!

He was never a child of God and died without being a child of God.

Get out of my house, Remedios! That’s enough.

You're such a fool that you don’t even realize you’re being used.

I'm a man of God but the next time you or your group

of housewives harm my wife, we're going to have a problem.

Honey, let's go to sleep and give auntie some space.

Have you calmed down?

I need some air.

What did you say about my son? Say it again!

María José please stop behaving…

Say it again!

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Hey, do you still have the first aid kit in the back of my workshop?

No, I don’t think so. Stop by the pharmacy if you want.

Are you okay, Mariajo?

I'm still very upset about before.

I'll look myself. I don't want to leave you girls alone after what happened.

Have you looked in the kitchen?

Let me come in Mariajo, please.

There is nothing!

Don't be silly, let me in.

Let's see… here. Here it is.

I'm sorry… it is a bit weird to be down here with you. You know what I mean.

The workshop looks exactly how I left it. Just a bit more empty.

I’ve sold some of your things, occasionally.

Don't worry, Mariajo. I haven't had the strength to create anything.

Watch out.

Sorry.

I’m officially a "has been".

Well, you're a celebrity within a ten mile radius, right?

Very funny.

Why don't you stay with us for a few days? It will be safer.

I couldn't. Not with Ari about to give birth. It would be inconsiderate.

It's totally okay, I promise.

You and Lucía can come and Feli can pick her up there.

I understand better than anybody why you wouldn;t want to leave the town,

but I think this is enough, right?

I’m sorry, I'm not trying to get all “husband" on you.

It's okay. You're right.

Are you sure you're okay?

Lucía says she doesn't want to go to sleep without saying good night to her auntie.

Honey, sorry about today.

Dad is proud.

You're just like me.

Want a sip?

How's your mom? How's her new boyfriend?

She told you not to tell me anything, right?

Well, sure.... After you fucked her.

Hey, that's no way to speak.

You may fool her but not me.

Man whore.

Who told you that? Your aunt?

- You never came looking for me.

Feli?

This is all because of you.

I have a place saved for you.

It's almost time.

Satis

The cell phone you are trying to reach

is switched off or out of service at the moment.

And we're back with more local news. The two lifeless bodies of officers

Javier Morcillo and Raquel Hernández have been found hanging from a tree

a few feet away from the police station.

Around eight PM, a fellow officer found their bodies…

Teresita, honey, where's my coffee? I have a cabinet meeting in half an hour.

I'm sorry,

my head is somewhere else.

Don't listen to this, woman. It'll brainwash you.

We have to support each other.

- Yes. - A lot.

You know what the father said.

Our Toti watches over us from above.

Hello?

No, I’m not interested.

Why are you so jumpy?

I'm trying to get a hold of Remedios but she won't pick up. I'm worried.

It's early, she's probably in bed.

You know how much she likes her nightcap.

I know…

Teresita, what have you done?

Nothing.

Don’t lie to me. You know you don't know how to.

Honorio, I need you to see this.

Everything is in here. The accidents, the plagues,

the animals.

Look at this, and this. And everything started after that little girl arrived.

Remedios heard the father and Juan speak.

They both believe that she is…

I’m tired of this nonsense.

You're going to go apologize to Maria José personally.

Enough with this bullshit!

You want to go back to forty years ago?

When no one wanted to stop the madness?

You know how hard it was restoring the town back to it’s place?

Remember what we saw that night.

That night we were kids. But now we have a responsibility.

Honorio, think about our son.

Don't you think it's weird that he died the way he died? Please.

I’m sure María José thought the same when Lolo passed.

The ways of the Lord are mysterious, you know that.

Stop feeding the fire, for your own good,

especially in this town full of wack jobs.

Nothing's going to bring our son back.

Here, get some rest

and then you can go to church and pray for Antonio.

I’ll speak to the neighbors and Remedios.

Tomillo, what are you doing here?

Honorio, the crops are dead and the animals have stopped eating.

You need to do something. - I don't know what you expect me to do.

Stop acting clueless.

You're the only one who doesn’t want to see what's going on.

Haven’t you watched the news? Even your wife is on our side.

Go back to the fields. Stop brainwashing each other.

Pardon me.

Mr. Mayor, I wanted to…

Father, I order you to stop tormenting the town

with your bullshit before somebody else gets hurt.

- Honorio, let me go. - And above all, stay away from my wife.

I just want to know if you knew were father Gabriel is.

- I’ve been looking but… - Don't fuck with me, Abelino.

Leave the past where it is.

We can't turn a blind eye to this, Honorio.

My father had to turn a blind eye

after the shitshow you and your friends put on years ago.

All that got us was a flock of hipsters

who come here looking for our black legend.

But I'm not my father.

And I turned a blind eye when your son, God

bless his soul, had María José's kid killed.

We all have skeletons in the closet.

Remind me the commandments, father?

How did they go?

"You shall not kill..." What else?

"You shall not commit adultery." "You shall not bear false witness."

If I didn't see you wearing those robes I would have

guessed you haven't opened a Bible in your fucking life.

I think you haven't realized that you don't have

the upper hand here to come and try to fuck with me.

I have something for you.

For me?

It was a pleasure meeting you. Thank you.

You're such an artist.

It's beautiful.

"David,

since we lost Lolo, life has stopped making sense for me.

I wake up every day and my heart shrinks as I walk

past our son's room. I didn't know how to protect him.

And I can't handle it anymore.

It's time to say goodbye.

If there's a Heaven

I hope to see Lolo again."

Lucía!

Have you found Feli yet?

No one has seen her in all these years. I fear the worst.

They're one step ahead of us.

We have to do something.

You have to step up, Teresa.

You have to be the one who unites the town.

Tell me something.

Was it worth it to stay here forty years ago?

With everyone's accusatory looks behind your back

and your peers fleeing the town?

A soldier never leaves his post.

Evil tongues say there are other reasons why you stayed.

Without any evidence there's nothing to do.

I can't find Remedios, Teresa. What have you done?

Don't be silly, we haven't done anything.

And Juan?

Is his allegiance clear?

I've called the entire town to mass this evening. Speak.

Make them understand. I promise they'll listen to you.

We won't have another chance. Tonight's the blood moon.

Father,

We're gonna need more than my words if we want to see the sun tomorrow.

Make sure he comes.

Are you sure, baby?

Yeah.

We have decided, if it's okay with you,

that I stay for a few days. To make sure you and the girl are okay.

That's alright, David. There's no need.

I would feel much better. I have a thing I can't miss

and this man is going to drive me crazy with so much pre-natal reading.

David! Here's the guy I wanted to talk to.

Honorio, with all due respect I don't think this is the best time. Good day.

I know.

I'm here to apologize in the name of my wife.

Mine almost ended up in the emergency room because of Teresa’s delirium.

I know it's been a few hard days.

Look, mayor, María José can't live afraid of getting

knocked in the head while walking down the town square.

Or afraid that crazy Remedios invades her house

in the middle of the night. This is ridiculous.

Control your wife, Honorio. For everyone's sake.

Sending Remedios to your home is intolerable.

Come on...

Father Abelino has filled their heads with bullshit and revelations.

For sure.

David, the town is growing more and more hostile

and I need to make sure I have your trust before

things get out of hand, you know what I mean?

What can I do to compensate you?

That's okay, Mayor.

I was told the judge wasn't too fair with you.

I've seen the shitty car you drive.

For fuck's sake, you used to showcase your work at the Thyssen.

So many people used to come here for your pieces.

Don't worry about me, mayor.

Keep Teresa and Remedios away from María José.

We'll pray for your son and your family. Good day.

Remedios must have left the town ashamed.

What do you mean she left?

I was just outside her house. She left the door open and some

of those crepes she loves so much all over the road.

She must have been very upset.

Anyway, I don't want to take more of your time. Thank you for everything.

You're welcome, mayor. Good day.

Would you look at this?

What's such a beautiful girl doing by herself?

You see? It hasn't been kept up since the previous mayor.

He's going to be very happy. No one ever comes to see him.

Look, father. You have a visitor.

How lucky? A friend from the town.

He's not much of a talker lately.

Thanks, sister.

Try to have him eat the gelatin. He won't listen to me.

Father Gabriel, it's me, father Abelino.

I hope you're not here to make me eat the jelly.

Father, we need your help.

Father Gabriel, it isn't easy to confess but forty years ago we made a mistake.

Nonsense!

Father, I think we took the wrong life

and I fear for a woman in the town.

I think she is being manipulated by a girl, named Lucía.

You know...

You were always my favorite

but never the sharpest.

Father...

No one made a mistake forty years ago.

Not you, not me, nor the other priests.

We did what had to be done.

How do you justify what's happening, then?

People are dying.

If God is stubborn,

imagine the Devil.

This is a war Abelino, it's always been.

We won a battle

but it was a matter of time before it came back.

How are you so sure?

How do you know we didn’t commit a capital sin that night?

I can still hear the screams.

Does it look like we made a mistake?

You were always the rebel of the Order.

The one that stayed behind.

I did what you asked me to.

It isn't easy to comfort a woman who's lost it all.

You harbored too much love to only dedicate it to God.

However, his paths are inscrutable.

And they've brought me here.

We're the last members of the Order and now evil is back.

And it isn't alone.

The world is upside down and the focus is in the town.

I understand you won't help us.

Even though you know everyone would be by your side.

You're losing time, Abelino.

And we don't have a lot.

I need you to go get some beer. We're out.

What did you do with Remedios crepes?

What crepes?

The lady is a nutjob but her cooking is flawless.

I believe she left a tray for you. Right?

After last night I don't want anything to do with her.

I see. The mayor dropped by. He came to apologize

and told me they can't find her. They can't find Remedios.

She'll turn up.

Say it.

Say what, exactly?

I don't know. You brought it up.

- There must be something you want to say. - I haven't said anything.

Although I do think it's a big

coincidence that they can't find her.

Weird, right?

Did you go over to her house last night?

When you went out for a smoke. Because I know you are smoking again.

I've been cleaning up cigarettes butts all over the house.

What's that have to do with anything?

I know what you're capable of when you're puppies are in danger.

It wouldn't be the first time.

Funny, huh?

Funny how your balls only drop when you're around me.

Do you even know the amount of favors I had to pull

so that they wouldn't lock you up in an asylum?

He was my son's killer

and no one did anything! You didn't do anything.

That was thirteen years ago! Thirteen fucking years ago!

And our son killed himself because he wanted to.

Son of a bitch.

There's was nothing we could have done, Mariajo. Nothing.

He wouldn't speak to us, he wouldn't look at us, he didn't have any friends.

For God's sake, he even tortured his classmates. He wasn't a saint.

Did you leave that note on purpose so that Ari would read it?

Do you find it funny taking advantage of her, too?

What do you mean by that?

You always play the victim to get your way.

I had to endure your attacks to a 10 year old kid outside the school.

I even renounced the house in the divorce.

The house I fucking paid for. Me! With my own money!

And all of this happened because you wouldn't let me baptize our son.

But that couldn't be, right?

I could have convinced the father perfectly, Mariajo...

You're disgusting.

That's what you are trying to manipulate Ari.

What's the end goal?

You want her to have a panic attack so that she loses the kid?

Vengeance, vengeance, vengeance.

I have to admit something...

What?

What a win dating a girl twenty years younger than you.

Give me a break.

Although if Ari knew you better

she'd know not to leave you alone with another woman.

Don't go there Maria José,

I beg you please don't do this to me again.

Of course I'm going there!

Now you act all holy but when you were fucking

my sister while I mourned our son's death

you didn't mind sinning so much.

Lower your voice before Lucía hears you.

Always the fucking same with you.

The fucking same!

What the fuck is wrong with you now?

Of course...

You don't give a fuck if I'm okay or not.

You're here because you think the girl is yours.

You think that.

Of course not!

In what world would a beautiful and smart girl

like her come from an asshole like you?

It's obvious it wasn't a good idea for me to stay.

It's obvious.

And I'm taking the car I paid for. Like everything else!

You made dad mad.

Dad can go fuck himself.

Here.

Dear neighbors

The end is near.

It's not me who says it but the scriptures.

A continent is raging in flames,

there's a virus propagating like the plague,

crops dying, insect plagues,

children dying...

Come on, father. We need to stop this nonsense.

In the beginning all the prophets were deemed rowdy and insane.

If someone had payed attention to Noah's words...

Are you seriously comparing Teresa to Noah, father?

We can't induce chaos in the town because of a series

of coincidences that are happening everywhere.

not only here.

There's a lot of things you don't understand, Juan.

Enough with that. Enough.

- The Vatican has spoken and we are not alone.

Come on...

Are you all so innocent

that you're willing to believe what this woman is feeding you?

Father, control your child.

I'm not a child, Teresa.

We'll see...

I'm ashamed at such demonstration of populism.

And what about you, people?

Will you blindly follow this woman

when she asks you to take an innocent life?

Is that what you want? To go back to the Inquisition?

To witch burning? - Juan...

You're so well versed in history.

Very nice.

And yet you don't seem to try to know much about your own.

Teresa, stop.

Father, don't you think your son

shouldn't wear those clothes and speak in such a matter?

Juan!

When were you going to tell me?

You sent me to live with the nuns...

It wasn't in our plans. It was the safest option for you.

Juan... - What?

How did I not notice before?

Is everyone aware that sacrifices have been made in this church?

Are they? And they're okay with it?

You don't understand. If the prophecy were to be fulfilled...

But what prophecy?

What prophecy?

Can't you see that your rubbish is costing innocent lives?

How many more families have to pay for this?

Don't think I don't carry each and everyone of their souls with me!

Without that horrible tragedy I would have

never been destined to take care of your mother.

She forgave me and no one has been able

to fill my heart with love like her.

Breaking God's rules gave me the best part of my life.

But we have to act now, time is running. Son...

Please son, let me...

No.

Don't call me that.

I'm tired.

I'm tired of secrets, orders and fucking prophecies.

Close the doors, please.

Teresa, let's go inside. Everyone's watching.

- Come on. We gotta go. - Why?

They're coming for you.

Who?

Everyone! Let's go!

How come you're not with them?

Not all of us are the same. Come on!

Heavenly Christ,

give me strength as today is the most important day of our lives.

I am your faithful servant and we will protect what is yours to the end.

Lord,

I beg you one last time,

give us strength to eradicate this evil that stalks us.

Shit. They're fast.

What the fuck? Run.

Run, Juan, run.

Do we have any weapons?

Where do you think we are? You, lock downstairs. Lucía upstairs.

No! Fuck!

It's a matter of time, María José.

Same to you.

It's almost dawn.

- Over here! - Don't let them in.

Lucía! Lucía! What have you done?

Lucía. Are you all right?

Lucía, Sweetie...

Is everything closed?

- Juan? - All closed.

Put a couple of steaks in the pan, run.

- Medium? - Rare.

Come on sweetie.

Father?

Father, I need to speak with you.

Juan?

Another one?

Fuck!

Have you tried the landline?

They cut everything.

I'm going to put the girl to bed.

Thank you.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you,

blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of

your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners...

Lucía. We can't get out of here if you don't stop fainting.

Okay, love?

- Here. - Thank you.

To my White knight!

- Not even... - Yes, silly.

Did you know about Father Abelino?

Well, about me.

Honey, I...

I had my suspicions. Well...

everybody had them.

You’re such a good boy

There are so many things that I do not know.

That I’m not sure I want to know.

When all this is over, you and I could leave the town.

And start from scratch.

- You and me? - Yes.

No, Juan. Juan I’m sorry.

You have misunderstood me.

Juan, don't get me wrong.

I care for you. But not this way...

I saw Lucía. I saw what she is.

Look, Juan. You don’t understand it.

If it isn't me, it will be someone else. You can't stop this.

Why not?

I am not a child!

You're behaving like one right now!

- You’re gonna give me the keys. - No I’m not.

- Yes, you are. - No.

Juan...

Juan, please.

Juan...

Lucía!

Juan, you're going to screw it all up.

- David! - Mariajo, are you okay?

I’m gonna take you out of here. Let’s go.

Don't touch my son's things.

Don’t touch!

All of this hell is your son's fault.

David...

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

Come on.

Come here.

Come here, I'll help you.

Let's see.

There must be something for that wound.

I'm better, don't worry.

And the girl?

Take a bite, it's going to hurt. Bring that, come.

Shit.

It's okay, It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

David, thanks for coming back. Sorry about earlier.

No, no, you forgive me. I've been such a jerk.

Look at us.

Barricading in your workshop. Who would've guessed?

This isn't what you expected when you came to town to see your ex-wife, huh?

I didn't expect anything normal from you.

Hey!

- Fuck! It hurts. - Sorry.

Do you remember the last time we got locked down here?

Of course I remember.

Surely you'd never thought to do it here.

Well, maybe when you were less sophisticated, yes.

But now that you're so posh, I don't think so.

I'm still a townsman.

No, no... I don't see you getting your hands dirty anymore.

Lucía!

Hand us the girl.

Give us the girl, Maria José. Finish this.

Leave before you get hurt.

"The rumbling of the earth shall herald his coming,

and in the setting of the blood moon he shall ascend

to purge the dominions of the Lord". For her to live, you have to die!

She's my daughter.

Are you really going to choose the girl over you? Over your town?

Fuck the town.

Fuck the town? Fucking psycho.

Mariajo. The girl.

Lucía...

What have you done?

Lucía... Lucía get up. Get up

My journey ends here, mom.

I can't go anymore.

What are you saying? Come on baby.

We haven't come this far to give up now. Come on.

No one's giving up

Please, go.

No, no. I'm not leaving without you.

I am here to protect you. Like you wanted.

No...

I am the one who's here to protect you.

You haven’t understood anything.

You gotta go.

Lucía...

I can't lose you too.

You are a wonderful mother.

I love you.

Enough with these games!

This girl has been proven to be the monster of prophecy.

For God's sakes. Give her up!

No!

You already took Lolo from me.

You're not going to listen, are you?

Well... What are you all waiting for?

Let's go.

When I tell you to leave, leave.

Damn town of cowards.

Teresa.

I am not afraid of you. You've already taken everything from me.

It's over.

Kill me! Kill me! And let the everybody see it!

Kill her.

Go to hell.

My Lord, it's now or never.

"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come..."

May the full weight of God fall upon you.

We're done.

Goodbye, Mom.

Lolo... Lolo...

What are you doing here?

Lolo, What are we doing here?

We are almost safe. Dad's gift must be protected.

Honey, Lucía is no longer here.

There are growing responsibilities for the future Christian

In this decadent world.

When you ask for baptism for your child, you know that

you are obliged to raise him in the Faith.

So that this child,

following the gospels of God,

Love the Lord and love thy neighbor.

As Christ teaches us in the gospel.
